Ricardo Neri 70e57c0f4b x86/insn-eval: Compute linear address in several utility functions
Computing a linear address involves several steps. The first step is to
compute the effective address. This requires determining the addressing
mode in use and perform arithmetic operations on the operands. Plus, each
addressing mode has special cases that must be handled.

Once the effective address is known, the base address of the applicable
segment is added to obtain the linear address.

Clearly, this is too much work for a single function. Instead, handle each
addressing mode in a separate utility function. This improves readability
and gives us the opportunity to handler errors better.

At the moment, arithmetic to compute the effective address uses 64-byte
variables. Thus, limit support to 64-bit addresses.

While reworking the function insn_get_addr_ref(), the variable addr_offset
is renamed as regoff to reflect its actual use (i.e., offset, from the
base of pt_regs, of the register used as operand).

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
